Seattle Seahawks to visit White House May 21

President Barack Obama will honor the Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks at the White House on Wednesday, May 21.

The Seahawks won their first championship with a 43-8 romp over the AFC-champion Denver Broncos on Feb 2. The Hawks’ No. 1-ranked defense forced Peyton Manning and the Broncos’ No. 1-ranked offense into committing four turnovers, making what was built up to be one of the best matchups in Super Bowl history into a laugher (unless you are a Broncos fan, of course).

Head coach Pete Carroll and the Hawks will make the trip to Washington as a team, though quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman already rubbed elbows with the D.C. elite earlier this month when they attended the White House correspondents dinner. President Obama even took the opportunity to show off his own version of Sherman’s infamous post-NFC Championship Game rant.
